Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K & Fun Run

Oh, the Miles We Will Go!

Grab your sneakers, gather your friends and bring a little sass! Join us on Saturday, March 6, 2027, for the 5th Annual Bree’s Miles of Memories 5K at Etowah River Park in Canton, Georgia.

You may run.
You may walk.
You may come with your crew.
However you join us, we would love to see you!

This fun-filled, Dr. Seuss-themed race celebrates the life of Breanna “Bree” Leigh Chadwick and the beautiful legacy she left behind. Together, we’ll remember Bree, raise awareness about organ donation and continue spreading her joyful, generous spirit—one mile and one memory at a time.

Why We Run
Bree dreamed of becoming a teacher and had a heart for children, books and helping others. Her bright personality, contagious smile and legendary energy made every room a little happier.

After an equine accident, Bree passed away on July 8, 2022. Through organ donation, she gave others the gift of life. Her story continues to inspire people to register as organ donors, serve their communities and make a difference wherever they can.

Bree’s Legacy was created to carry her spirit forward by:

• Promoting organ-donation education and awareness
• Supporting children, families and teachers
• Providing meaningful community outreach
• Encouraging others to give, serve and spread kindness
• Every runner, walker, volunteer, donor and sponsor helps us continue doing good in Bree’s name.

Welcome to Seussville!
Seussville is coming to Etowah River Park, and a few familiar characters may be making mischief along the way!

Be on the lookout for the Cat in the Hat and friends roaming around, greeting participants and posing for pictures. We’ll also have free event photography to capture the smiles, costumes, memories—and probably a little race-day sweat too!

Dress to Impress—Seuss Style!
Come dressed as your favorite Dr. Seuss character for a chance to win a special prize!

Whether you arrive looking like the Grinch, the Lorax, Thing 1, Thing 2 or something completely creative, we want to see it. Costumes are encouraged but never required.

A Special Moment for Bree
Before the race begins, we’ll gather for a special memorial presentation honoring Bree and the incredible impact she continues to have on so many lives.

This is the heart of our morning—a time to remember her kindness, celebrate her life and recognize how her decision to become an organ donor gave others the gift of more tomorrows.

The 5K will begin immediately following the presentation, so please arrive early to ensure you do not miss this meaningful part of the event.
